In just a matter of hours after the first showers, the uncomfortable swelter retreats like the undertow of that violent surge, and a dewy, welcome freshness fills the air. But this is just physical. Inside the heart of a Mumbaikar, something shifts. A new temperament and equilibrium, perhaps a whole new set of rules to live by, comes into play.
